Since WW is coincident with Groundhog Day (in the US and Canada), I decided to feature Herman, a stuffed groundhog. I have had him since I was about four years old. One can tell he was a much loved toy – he was pretty much is his current worn-out state by the time I was about 8 or 9. But here he is several decades later. When not taken out for photos, he now resides in prominent location in a glass display cabinet.
so is kitty hermans shadow? if so we see it. if not well, he blends in so well with the rug we almost did not see him and therefore no shadow; but we still see kitty !!
We have a dog named Boppie that my father gave my mother before he proposed to her. Boppie’s supervised the sleep of three children and five grandchildren, while having been restored twice. He too occupies a safe and special place.
For all those who asked if Herman saw his shadow – the answer is yes and I hope that means six more weeks the weather we have been having. 60-67F and sunny in San Francisco 🙂
We just came in from Florida, and are unable to pick up our kitties (and dog) due to the blizzard conditions in Illinois; I loved looking at the pictures of your cats. Even the groundhog! I miss mine so much. Cat, that is, not groundhog.
What a great idea to feature your groundhog, Herman, today for Groundhog Day! I also still have a childhood stuffed animal that I received for my 1st Christmas, a stuffed duck. Today you wouldn’t know it was a duck unless I told you – Squeaky was a very much loved duck!
Luna looks lovely as always! I featured China Cat today as she doesn’t like the cold and she would be very happy if Spring is really here in six weeks!

Luna is looking gorgeous as always!
Wow, I wished I had kept my favorite childhood stuffed animal. Does Herman sees its own shadow?
Awwwww!!!! We love Herman! Have a Happy Wordless Wednesday Luna and a cool Groundhog Day!!!
Your Tx Furiends,

I agree, it seems to be a part of the rug, but a cute part.
Great pic of Luna and Herman purrfect for both Groundhog Day and WW 🙂
Herman is sweet! Luna seems to be eyeballing him! Beautiful kitty!
But did he see his shadow???
Delicious!

Herman looks like he was a faithful buddy. Happy Groundhog Day!
Did they see their shadows this morning?? Happy WW!
I had a little stuffed dog with those same sleepy eyes! I wish I still had him.
Aww, Herman!! So cute!! DId he see his shadow?? I still have my much-loved teddy bear I got for my 5th birthday 🙂
Your kitty looks ready to tear this groundhog up if he says “More Winter!” I approve.
I was late with WW this week; I have a new one up now 🙂 Happy WW!

Oh…Herman is so sweet. I am happy to hear he is enjoying retirement, as a treasured stuffie.
I have my childhood stuffed animal too. I wouldn’t mind 6 more weeks of winter.
A new doll ? How cute !
Great. Happy Groundhog Day!
Herman is so cute and so is Luna.
Mine are here and here.
awwww….so precious
The chocolate on my blog is edible … the real thing!
Thank you for stopping by!

At least the cat isn’t perturbed by Luna.
We just came in from Florida, and are unable to pick up our kitties (and dog) due to the blizzard conditions in Illinois; I loved looking at the pictures of your cats. Even the groundhog! I miss mine so much. Cat, that is, not groundhog.
I agree. Perfect WW for Groundhog day! 🙂
Happy Groundhog Day! Love Herman and Luna!
Luna’s eyeing Herman the way I eye a brownie sundae LOL.

The cat seems not much impressed by the ground hog’s prognostications!
Happy WW! How neat you still have that!

Perfect to get Luna with Herman! Both look so content! If Herman stays inside, that means he didn’t see his shadow, right?!? 🙂
hee hee 🙂 Completely cute!
Haha…no shadows there…YAY!
Luna is so classy and polite. She knows how valuable a childhood toy is and respectfully leaves it alone. 🙂
